Chapter 173 Press Conference
Reporters surrounded Eggsy, and seeing that he seemed a little angry about the questions about the internal strife in Real Madrid, they quickly raised a lot of questions that were just the same old questions. Without exception, they all felt that Eggsy was too young to control himself, could not convince the crowd, and that there were serious problems in the locker room.
One reporter even asked directly: "Is Ramos not starting this time because of the conflict in your locker room?"
Eggsy took a deep breath, frowned, and suppressed his rising anger, saying, "There is no conflict in our locker room as you said!"
"Then there is another conflict? Has Eggers ever been excluded?"
Eggsy was so angry at this reporter that his nose was almost crooked. He looked at the other person with a bit of impatience, wondering why it was so difficult to talk to him!
"Do you understand what I mean by 'no conflicts'?" Eggsy looked at the reporter holding the microphone and frowned. "Everyone in the locker room is very harmonious and there are no conflicts. Do you understand what I said?"
But the reporter looked at Eggsy and asked another question the next second: "So you mean to say that Ramos's failure to start today has nothing to do with you?"
Now Eggsy finally understood what it meant that you can never teach a person who plays dumb. He looked at the reporter, and his eyes, which had just faded due to fatigue, glowed with gold again, which showed that Eggsy's emotions were now aroused.
Other reporters also began to pursue this issue noisily. Eggsy knew that if he didn't clarify it, it would cause trouble for other teammates, so he suppressed his anger and thought about how to explain.
At this time, they were standing in the player's tunnel and there were still many people coming and going, but the other reporters were now aiming at Eggsy to ask questions and didn't pay any attention to the back. Just when Eggsy was getting a little impatient with these reporters, a pair of big hands suddenly stretched out from behind Eggsy and pulled him over.
"Little guy, how can you run so fast?" Ramos had just exchanged jerseys with Chelsea's Kante, and his upper body was bare. He seemed to have not noticed the group of reporters, put his hands on Eggsy's shoulders, rubbed Eggsy's hair hard, and then kissed Eggsy on the cheek. "Let's go first, hurry up!"
When Ramos said this, he turned around and looked at the group of reporters surrounding Eggsy. His threatening look was undisguised. The other reporters looked at Eggsy, and then looked at the interaction between Ramos and Eggsy.
Whether Ramos pulled Eggsy over or kissed him, he was very domineering. He was simply announcing to the reporters that this little guy was his and he was protecting him!
Later, Kroos also came over. Compared with Ramos, he didn't even say as much. He just reached out and rubbed Eggsy's head. Then when Eggsy reacted, he turned around, smiled at Eggsy, and left.
This series of interactions has been filmed by other reporters. The reporter who was just asking whether Eggsy caused internal strife within the team suddenly felt that his mouth was open, but he couldn't say anything.
At this time, Modric also came over, and there were many reporters around him, but Modric was a little unsteady when he walked, which showed that he had no energy to deal with these reporters, so he didn't say a word. But when he saw Eggsy, Modric still quickened his pace and walked over.
Of course Eggsy saw his Momo from a distance. This time Modric didn't even touch Eggsy's hair, but just opened his arms. Eggsy hugged Modric and picked up his Momo directly. After the two smiled at each other, Eggsy put Modric down.
"Go back to the locker room quickly." Modric patted Eggsy's arm, smiled at him and put his cheek close to his, and then the two reluctantly parted.
Of course, Modric's words and actions were not for the reporters to see, this was simply the normal mode when he and Eggsy were together. But for the reporters who were just talking about the internal strife in the Real Madrid locker room, it felt a bit threatening.
Are the Real Madrid bosses endorsing Eggsy?
They soon got the answer to their question, because after Ramos reached out and touched Eggsy's hair, every teammate behind him reached out and touched Eggsy, interacted with him, and then gently reminded him to hurry up because everyone was in the locker room.
Even a fool could tell that everyone was waiting for him in the locker room. So when Benzema and Bale were praised, Eggsy's head was touched again. But he was too lazy to say anything to these reporters. He had said everything he needed to say, so he just waved his hand and followed them out.
When Eggsy entered the locker room, the other teammates started cheering for Eggsy, which was a recognition of Eggsy's performance today. Then they started to rub Eggsy's hair and hugged him.
Normally, Eggsy would definitely open their hands and say, "Don't touch my head, I won't grow any taller now." But today... forget it, just let them touch it.
Zidane was the last one to come in, and saw that Eggsy was being bullied by everyone. Eggsy's performance today really made everyone recognize his ability, and everyone was very happy because Eggsy scored two goals.
The reason why there is no commotion now is that everyone is tired and doesn't have the energy to make a fuss. Also, Eggsy and his team are not at Real Madrid's own stadium, so they can't make too much noise.
"Okay, go take a shower quickly. Ramos, Eggsy, come with me to the press conference after you're done." After Zidane finished speaking, he sat on a chair and prepared to take a rest.
Chelsea had a difficult press conference this time, because the coaching staff was under great pressure from the fact that Eggsy saw through their tactics. From the beginning to the end, they were drawn into the trap and pressed by Real Madrid's tactics and mechanism, so at this press conference, Chelsea quickly admitted their mistakes and resolved the battle quickly.
So what everyone saw was that the head coach of Chelsea didn't even bring his players with him, he just ran away after speaking.
Then everyone hoped that Real Madrid would not do this. In everyone's expectation, Zidane finally attended with Eggsy and Ramos.
You know what, the clean and white Eggsy looks like she has rosy lips and white teeth, and her eyes are curved with laughter because of what she is saying to Ramos in front of her.
Ramos also smiled and pulled Eggsy to his front and asked him to follow Zidane, with his hands on Eggsy's shoulders and saying something to him.
Zidane looked at the two men and seemed to have heard what they were saying so he also started laughing.
Now the reporters below were really excited. As soon as Zidane and the other two sat down, one reporter immediately raised his hand as soon as the press officer asked a question.
"Are Eggsy and Ramos on good terms?" The reporter asked a very direct question, which fits the standard image of British tabloids. "Please answer this, Eggsy!"
When Eggsy saw that he was called upon to answer, he was stunned for a moment. He turned to look at Ramos and then at Zidane. Only after they agreed did he turn on the microphone in front of him.
"As a football reporter, you don't ask about the game or the head coach," Eggsy said without a trace of smile on his face. His answer was also very direct: "You asked me if I had a good relationship with my teammates right away?"
"I have serious doubts about your professionalism as a reporter for a football newspaper or magazine."
These words were really strong, and the reporter's face immediately turned red. Just as he was about to say something, Eggsy continued, "You didn't mention your newspaper, magazine, or column when you stood up to ask questions, so I think you should be able to refuse to answer such questions."
The reason why Eggsy spoke so directly was, of course, that the reporter was one of the reporters surrounding him in the player's tunnel. He was also the first reporter to ask Eggsy if there was any infighting in the locker room.
For this kind of person, Eggsy felt that any more words he said would be nonsense, so he simply shot down his question, leaving him speechless.
The reporters who were eager to ask questions on the court just now were immediately used as a warning to others and calmed down immediately.
But what Eggsy said is not wrong. Now it is a game press conference. It is indeed inappropriate for you to ask this question. Moreover, in this kind of press conference, you should not only ask questions about the game, but also ask questions about the head coach. You even asked Eggsy to answer it.
I'd be surprised if I didn't criticize you!
Which low-level or new journalist is this right?
The following questions were still asked step by step. The reporters first asked about Zidane's tactics and whether there were any problems with Eggsy's organization on the court.
Zidane gave a very fair evaluation, but he didn't say much. After all, this kind of occasion is too conspicuous, and if he said too much, it would really be a flattery.
Then I asked Ramos about his positioning for Eggsy in this game and how he felt about scoring the goal.
Ramos replied with one sentence: "The attacks organized by Eggsy were very smooth, and I felt very good."
He finished his speech neatly and then turned off the microphone. His meaning was very clear.
Fortunately, it was finally Eggsy's turn, but the reporters were in trouble again. The new main player obviously didn't like reporters asking him too much about the locker room, and he just showed his skills.
For the sake of follow-up information, they were not willing to offend Eggsy unless they really wanted to be banned by him.
So some reporters shrewdly asked Eggsy about his current mood, and then asked him about his upcoming participation in the England national team.
"I haven't seen my national team teammates yet, so I can't say anything casually," Eggsy replied seriously, "I'll tell you when I'm really selected."
Well, another soft rejection. The reporter could only smile awkwardly and sit down.
But at this moment, the next female reporter stood up, and she looked at Eggsy and said with a smile: "The British team currently has 10 midfielders including you. I wonder if you have any idea whether you can enter the national starting lineup?"
In fact, this question is more or less a trap. If Eggsy says here that he can enter, and then fails to enter later, it would be a slap in the face. If he says that he can't enter, it would be a disparagement of himself. If he turns around and says he doesn't know, it's not okay either. If he says he doesn't know, it's like he doesn't care about the national team.
Eggsy just thought for a moment and said slowly and methodically, "We are currently at the press conference for the Champions League. Miss, wait until the post-match press conference for the World Cup to ask again."
